This month, Trina is our host and she has chosen ...
The above card was an experiment. I took a watercolouring image but only watercoloured the hat the nose. The rest is paper pieced, which took a bit of work since this is a silhouette stamp (not outline). I think Frosty's lovely rainbow plaid scarf looks super warm and cozy. :)

You made this silhouette into a gorgeous snowman with his wonderful plaid paper pieced scarf, hat band and holly and berries as well as wonderful watercoloured hat and carrot nose and the suggestion of eyes too. A fun image Loll and so cute too. x
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you manage to paper piece a silhouette stamp, but you sure did a great job with it! I thought it was a printed image it is so perfect. I love this cute little guy's scarf, it is certainly warm and cozy for sure. This snowman is quite the cutie too! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLoll I love this Snowman. Just looking at him makes you think of a scarf that is warm and cozy for sure. I am always excited when I see that you have posted something - always look forward to seeing what you have created.
ReplyDeleteI am snowman crazy - thanks for sharing.
Mr snowman sure does look warm and cozy in his wonderful plaid scarf. His face is adorable and no wonder he has a smile on his face showing off that scarf x. Such a striking image and a fabulous CAS card Loll x.
ReplyDeleteI made a batch of cards with this stamp two years ago. Now I am going to make more using your idea of a plaid scarf. Paper piecing! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you for sharing your wonderful snowman.
ReplyDeleteI do believe this is fabulous Loll!!! Bravo!

I love that plaid, Loll, and it does make the snowman look warm and cozy. I just hope he doesn't melt. ;)
ReplyDeleteA fab example of paper piecing here Loll! He looks very warm and cosy all bundled up in his bright scarf. Great card. x
ReplyDeleteIt's such an amazing inspiration, Loll! I love the checked snowman scarf, it looks stunning

What a lovely water coloured snowman he is. Love his tartan scarf hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteHe's one of my favorite stamps. I simply LOVE how you've colored him!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out fabulous, Loll. I can see how much work that was since you had to fill in the details. What a wonderful job you did painting it. Although it was labor intense those often make the best cards and this is one of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, my friend! I love the combination of watercolor and the paper piecing! The plaid scarf and matching hatband make this fellow extra festive!
ReplyDeleteOMG Lol, he turned out amazing, I'm trying to wrap my head around this type of paper piecing with this stamp. I'm going to have to give this one a go :)
ReplyDeleteThe paper piecing worked amazingly well given it was a silhouette stamp! And I love the festive plaid paper you chose for the scarf and hat brim. What a fabulous card for the Warm and Cozy challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh what a cosy snowman Loll - hope he doesn't get so warm under that stunning scarf that he melts :)

Love how you've paper pieced this snowman's scarf. The overall effect is fab! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite snowmen stamps, I just love his face. He looks fab paper pieced, what a great job Loll xx
ReplyDeleteThat scarf grabbed my attention, Loll! I thought at first you created it somehow, but reading I see it's paper pieced. Outstanding! You've added just the right amount of color to make it look SO realistic. WOW! Thank you SO much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis fellow is awesome in his gorgeous scarf and hatband. A perfect challenge for now since it has turned cold and we need to be cozy.
ReplyDeleteThis came out really well, well worth the effort. Love the scarf xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab snowman and love the colorful plaid scarf!!
ReplyDeleteYou have the patience of a saint to paper piece this image, Loll! I love his plaid scarf and hatband with your beautiful watercoloring...definitely warm and cozy! Such a darling card!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet snowman with his terrifically warm plaid scarf, showing all his glory!

ReplyDeleteA great stamping, colouring and paper piecing composition Loll, he's a marvelous snowman, a super card, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, Loll. He definitely looks warm and cosy. Beautiful watercolouring as always. Brilliant paper piecing! I’ve tried paper piecing silhouettes before, but nowhere near successful as you... need to learn your ingenious method. 😉
ReplyDeleteWow, you did an amazing job coloring this NO line stamp, Loll! He is just as cute as can be and that scarf is so lovely and festive! Heart Hugs, Colleen
ReplyDeleteLoll, this is so adorable and I love your plaid scarf to keep your Frosty warm.
